In June of last year I found out I was pregnant also...I at 9 weeks started with a light brown discharge that could only be found by actually sticking some tissue into the vagina cavity a little bit...Doctor said don't worry it will be fine...found out in five days my baby had died...Now I am pregnant again and have found out that I have a low progesterone level in pregnancy which can cause miscarriage and light brown spotting...My suggestion is demand your doctor to test your progesterone level immediately and if that level is not 16 get suppositories or progesterone in oil shots...just my opinion as a woman who has desperately tried to have a child...
